Doom-monger obsessed with Herrera & the M.E.N.
It has taken City, not Pep a while to build that side, with a lot of mistakes along the way. We still have a defence which largely consists of SAF players. I am not too concerned about the CB's, but my god having Valencia and Young, apart for the goal of course. They need replacing. He is trying to get a winning mentality into this side, but I also think he needs to make sure they are motivated for every game, because they are not yet good enough in certain positions to freewheel through games. They also need another clinical goalscorer. Lukaku is not enough, so hoping Sanchez is better after a pre-season.Yay we achieved the bare minimum and qualified for the CL after the amount we spend every summer but still barely looking like a team...
Let's not start celebrating getting top 4 these days, we aren't Arsenal, and any manager who fails to qualify for the CL deserves to be sacked on the spot. Last season the only thing that saved Mourinho was winning the Europa League.
I can see progress result wise, but people moan about the style, I don't as such, but if we played Jose's style more efficiently we will still score plenty and put teams away. The efficiency is a problem for me. If we create and take our chances we can coast through the rest of the game.
